 The Causes Of The French Revolution
     In the 17th and 18th centuries, France was ruled by an absolute government. The king had 
all the political power. And the kings who came after him were despots. For example, anyone 
who criticized the government could be arrested and put in prison without trial. Louis XIV at l
east ruled this country efficiently. Last French kings were not good rulers. Louis XIV (1774-
1793) was king at the time of the French Revolution. He was more interested in hunting than 
governing France. He and his Austrians queen, Marie Antoinette, lived an extravagant life at the 
Palace of Versailles. They did not really care about the state of their country. The government 
was inefficient, unjust and corrupt. There were too many government departments, different laws 
in different parts of the country and officials. Many people became angry about the way France 
was governed. They could do nothing to change it. The French Parliament was called the Estates-
General.

‘Judicial Method: activism versus formalism’ A new era has emerged from the societal and legal changes that have occurred in Australia. The age of Judicial activism has taken over the more traditional method of judicial formalism. Supporters of the latter’s concerns that it promotes power without responsibility, and blurs the separation of powers, however the supporters of the former agree that inevitable changes in society force the judiciary to acknowledge that judicial formalism is a method that is not completely obsolete, but takes is less of a primary concern as it were, compared to other factors that effect a case.Those who are in favour of judicial activism argue that social change has increased the need for legal change and judges need to be able to make decisions considering external factors and using processes other than the law that make judicial method more subjective, adhering to legislation and legal policy but giving more significant acknowledgement to situational factors.

 A Massive Project for the Benefit of Mankind: A Look at the Human Genome Project     Scientists are taking medical technology to new heights as they race tomap all of the genes, nearly 100,000, in the 23 chromosomes of the human body.Along the way, they hope to understand the basis of, and maybe even developmethods of treating certain genetic diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and MuscularDystrophy. They plan to do this by identifying the DNA sequence of an abnormalgene in which a disease originates and comparing it with the data of a normal orhealthy gene. The entire research project is entitled "The Human GenomeProject."     "The Human Genome Project" is a large scale project being conducted bymore than 200 laboratories, with even more researchers and labs having joined in.Most of the labs and researchers are located in France and the United States.The project started in 1990 and was slated to take 15 years and cost $3 billionin U.S.
